Marion Street Sabbath School! u ij ' i ' "i

It was our good fortune Jpo be present a&4he A sary exercisea.of tbjs Selool, on Oast Sabbath, anlj never have wep ian hwo plcaaanjly and JWitftta- j Wy.- This Sabbath School is . superintended by Chaxlm Corns, who h peculiarly fitted for the arduous and patience-trying labors of keeping- in order a mass of juveniles, tbe most of whom were under twelve years of xge, a ad checking their restlessness b-r I ire ting their attention ta tbat which was betnsaid and taught them. Without intending praiae beyond Thai U due, we mast be permtttsd to girt our testtnw 4 bt, ia favor of tot most exoIlcDi,rier . mamuo el from the ommeoceuient to the ekiae cf the School, Ty all preseut. : Tbe exercises consisted bt reciXations by ehuses, of I'salma, Toils of Scripture, and. answer by the whole school of Scriptural questions. Short and appropriate addresife were made t tlie scholars by Rev. A. Ana, IC T. Reed, Rev. Mr, CuiriiX, and SiRiH Skith; all of which were interspersed with most delightful ainging by the scholars,of V ri hymns, ia which the Little folks joined with a wilt, and with all the power their little lungs gave them, fairly revelling in the melodious exercise. Tits singtng was led by onr friend C. Jacesow, who is a most excellent sinfrer.and faithful laborer in this Christian work of true benevJenee. At the dosing of the exercises Ca.tlti.Eg Cue rm, delivered a most interesting adjreaa and report, dutailing tlie pntgress of the School ami its grow th from its commencement until the preseat time, from wldch we gather t following facta : The establishment of the "Marion Street Sabbath school, is intended to aid in supplying tbe lack of Sabbath school and religious instruction, whieh xius in our city. It was not designed to act as a oompetitr to other Sabbath schools but to reach that class bf chihlren who d sot attend such &euoU ; but arl are uaile welcome. It was opened on the 21th of April, liol. in the achot-1 buiUing adjoining tlte German M, E. Church, now occupied by friends as. a Meeting House, on the 3. W. Cirner of Marion and Market-sts. After a few meetings, it was remove! to the oil school bouse on the I'ublic square ; but , lie room not being sufficient there, it was again removed ta its former location the use of the Meeting House Hself, for the purpose, having been obtained. It opened with forty-one scholars and teachers, awt lias gra.lnally increased, until tlie attenlance reached, during the winter, near three hnudred. This number has somewhat reduced. by th. opeuing of the Franklin Street German Sabbath tichooU which t.K k off near one hundred of the children. The' attendance is now from two hundred to two hundred sad fifty. Tlie whole number of children wht have attended tlie school, more or less, during the year, U about six hundred many of these liuivcrer have been vcry transient. The number si preseat on the list, is about four hundred. There is a Superintendent and assistant ; two Librarians ; oae Secretary, a Leader of the singing and about twenty Teachers of both sexes engaged in the work, besides several assistants in various departments. All engage!, serve patiently an I faithfully from their love of tlie good cause and work. The effort of all the Teachers is to inculcate as much scriptural knowledge as possible the impression tein that if a scholar only attends once and 1-nrns a single passage of scripture, it may lie useful to him or her. There fs a Library belonging to tho School of about fire hundred voIuums. Four hundred Child's papers are distributed amongst the children monthly, and, on nearly everv Sabbath, each scholar in attendance Ls 1 , . . , , A, . j lurnt&ueu wuu a inci, aiii a icauci. iu 1111s n ay, many thousand pages of religious reading have gone into families from whence the children came. Nearly all those who can reail, and do oot own a copy of the Bible, have been supplied. The above is a brief outline of the work performed by this Sabbath School organization, an I who shall say that those who are thus laboring in this field of Christan duty and love, are not laying up their treasures where neither moth nor rust shall corrupt, and that many shall call them blessed t May Heaven speed them in their hMy work. The Public Schools. The Superintendent of tho Public Schools of Richmond, Mr. Jrhsb II. lluowx, has submitted a lengthy rejiort to the Board of Trustees of the I'ubfic School, from which we take the following seunaKT.

Over 6H small scholars had to be acuomnuHlatea in a basement room. 4.W attended school iu rented rooms south ot .'I nn street. .Many of these rooms were poorly adapted to that purpose. Notwithstanding the s'lortivess f the school year tlie departments preseut a gratifying measure of success. Tire I On Thursday night last, as severe a thunder storm occurred as we ever witnessed. The lightening didn't exactly strike our "shanty but it cams thornier in f nrar r striking the stable of Mr. Apam Hkbbler, immediately west of it and on the same allev, sbont two hundred yards off. ilr. IIxbblir's stable was eonsnmed, and by the exertions of the tirero -n, the lire was kept from extending tn th stable of Mr. F raw man, on the opposite aids of the alley, and the carpenter-shop of Mr. Smithmeyex, a few feet west of the burning stable. Engine No. 3, got on the first water. We take this occasion to call the attention of our "city fathers," to tht condition of the cistTn on Market street, near the public school house it is clearly in the same fix of the ''broken cisterns," scripturally alluded to, that didn't bold water. No. 2 Engine could have operated on the fir at least ten minutes sooner, bad this cistern been In as good condition as it should have been, and full of water. As it was, tin Engine bad to be moved twice before a sufficient supply conld be obtained. This cistern bas tlx capacity of holding not less than firs huudred barrels of water, and there could not bavw been more than forty barrels in it on Thursday sight. There U, ws understand, a large crack iu it, about two feet from tbe bottom, and frequent attempts were made by the ciiixrns in that part of the city, last year, to get the city authorities to fix it; but fr.im some cause it has been neglected. Tbe importance of having our cisterns m pood order and full at all times, is so apparent that it is in!y necessary to mention a detect tn any of them, so that the remedy may be applied ; and we hope the Fir Company Committee of the City Council, will conclude like we do, tliat im is a case of emergency, and will not wait for a formal oieetiag of the Council, the first Tuesday iu June, for instruction ; but take fhe responsibility of having this cistern repaired lastanfiy. r "Huston Hall," at Dayton, Ohio, was entirely consumed by fire, on Monday morninsr, April 24tli. Thebuildins, in which this beautiful aud most popular Hall in the West was situated, ( third story, ) was owned by Mrs. KlUaleth Huston, and her loss in ;J5,0t.0, which is covered by S'.JO.OOO insurance. The losses of the occupants of the business rooms, together with Mrs. H's loss, will not fall far short of t50,UO0. The origin of the fire seems to bo a mystery. J"-t""RichnKoJ, Va., wasgreally benefited by Lee's surrender; and our litUe city of Richmond, with the removal of tbe 'cow -sheds' that marred her beauty, and th spirit diffused into her citixecsby the crushing on of tbe rebellion, and the looming up of bright pmspecta of peace, bar had a trn.lewy to brighten their future hopes to such a degree that they are brightening np their business -bouses and dwellings with paint, bnihiuagnew owe, white-waxhmfr. repairing, ic.

Many I believe k make an honest enquiry after truth and receive it gladly, while others only seek food for au insatiable appe- j tite of envy au 1 s'anler. (Jooil mn have never been able to satisfy the latter. While professing friendship, I they assailed the Administration of President Liscois at an early day, and stubbornly persisted in public ! fault-finding, down to the hour in which his valuable,', life, was so inhumanly filched from him. These will ' doubtless be as unlikely to endorse a wise policy un- ;; der I'resident Jouvsox, as they maliciously opposed -President Lincoln.

There is something remarkable in the frequent recurrence of the figure tevtn, in connection with the history of President Johnson, and.. I. have taken the trouble to note this circumstance, which i may be of interest to the public His 'jarae, Johnson, it will be perceived, has j seven letters in it: be commenced to j learn a trade at fourteen, years of age, 4 which is twice seven. He served seven j vears at his trade ;.Anishid his trade &t I -uiie icais ui i-;ts wnicn ia iuicc times seven, lie ".was elected alderman j of the town of Greenville, X. C, in 1 making a multiple of four times seven, j He was elected to the Legislature- 'of i Tennesee in 1S35, which Is multiple of five times seven ; and was then ag-cd : twenty seven. He was elected to the Congress ia 1S43, aged thirty-five, which ; is five times seven. He was elected to j the United States Senate in 1S57, aged j forty-nine, which is seven times seven, j lie was appointed the Military Governor; ot Acauesee on me sevenia 01 jxarvu, 102. and was. nominateil for the Vice Presidency tn 1?C4; aged fifty-six. which is eiht times seven" To say the least, this is a somewhat remarkable occurrence of a single figure ifi' one man's pnblic life- . He will no doubt be successful in brinping back, the original seven Secession States, and make the Union seven mesi as strong as ever it was before the rebellion. , Maj- God's blessing rest upon him. and may be live to be aged seventy times seven ! , And perhaps he ivUl assist in pouring out the seven phials of wrath on the heads of traitor.

extracB 1: -1 to property. The property (Jites-1 tion is me on wliie'i was stooo. most m the way of statesmen in regarA to tb.e abolition of slavery. IlKxaVCLiv, a Conservative man, and friendly" to the freedom of the negro, said in the Senate In 183b that the great obstacle to abolition was, that, there were fifteen hundred mMion of J Jlar in ttace', property It? 1G0, there was more than double that. j . stini tting it in the common way. If i'we Uke the e-wfire South (or United ' States. ) tottther there are not. in fact, one j dollar f.f property in stares. We may well ! know-how difficult this is to conceive of. by tl lose who have heard the continual talk about property ia slaves, and the gres t loss the South was to incur, by the abolition of slavery. In fact the South los ;s nothing whatever by the abolition of slavery. "That it will" loe nothing. we have the authority ot uie greatest I writer of Europe ou political economy, I' Adam S.uith says that the whole wealtli of a nation consists of the collected lahor tli at nation: that is ( the products of lalor. The whole value of a man in ttociety, cotwist:" ia Us labor wUtthcr physical, intellectual or morat. ' 'If, in some lair sense he is not a productive : laborer, he lias no value in a svstein of political economy. Now ttie negro and their labor will remain in'theronh-jr' and be worth just as much probably more after the abolition of elavenr as they were before. It is time that Joax Smith loses the power of selling C.esab to Johs Jones for a thousand dollars. But the sale of C.es.vu was not worth a copper to tbe country, for his tabor .was not increased an iota by the sale. The country had the value of his labor before the sale, and it has no more after it. The power of selling negroes was f great, value to the few owners of negroes, but it was not worth one cent to the country. Thecountry had no wealthiu the negroes except their labor, and it will have that now. The whole idea of value iu slavery was a fiction. It wu part of the machinery by which knaves and demagogues impose upon the common sense and credulity of mankind. When a few years have passed by, the existence of slavery so long iu the United States will be regareed as an evidence of ignorance and darkness, not one whit less than that which tried and condemned the witches. 2. Another great fear is that the net-roes will co-r.e in large numbers to the Northern States. You might as well -expect the monkej's of Central -America to run up to the artica. The negroes are natives of hot climates, and they naturally go toward the tropics.There are negroes in Canada, bat they went there in opposition to nature, to acquire freedom. They will never go there voluntarily. For eighty jears the whole mass of negroes in this country, ( taken as a whole, ) has constantly tended south. ' The center of gravity of the negro population in was far South of what it was in 17iK). This is a fact a natural fact, which will not be changed by any political laws. Nearly all the negroes in Ohio have either come here or been brough here to avoid slavery. When slavery ceases to exist, the motives to come on the part of the negroes will cease also. 'J. What must be done to recognize labor, that the South need not suffer, or tlie negroes suffer: they want work? Exactly nothing. The more meddling with the matter the worse it will be. Look straight at the statistical facts, and you will have your answer out of the Census Report. What is the condition of negroes now ? Half the negroes in the South are home servants, or uut more than two or three on the farm. Do you want any reorganization for them ? Is there any trouble in Maryland about the labor or reorganization of negroes? Not a bit of it. Everything goes as smooth as clockwork. The negro works and is paid for it ; goes to school and learns to read. There is the end of it. What more do you want? To illustrate this matter, let ns take the case of Tennessee. This State has just abolished slavery. How is she to i . i i : i -i ue a ueu i en i'jhi jii sue lose anything? Will she sufTer anj"thing? Let the fact9 answer. - Here are the statistics of slavery in Tennessee, as 'reported to the United States in 1SG0: Slave owners .....3.S44 Hav? n-ratr-, who hold over ten slaves 4"M Slave owners, who hold less than five slaves. ly,K9 Wtxile number of slaves ........275,719 rrms over twenty acres. ........... .....6S,bUl In this brief table is a complete exposition of the enormous fraud upon the human inlelect in the South, and the Jiioral cowardice in the North, by a small a, id contemptible slave aristocracy has b. ;en allowed to govern this country. I'i Tennessee, a great and noble State, of 1, 200,000 inhabitants, less than 10,O00 slaveholders compelled the Legislature to pass an act of secession, defied a great popular majority, and carried the State into a bloody war. whieb has lestro3"ed more t!ian half her young men, and has revolutionized its Constitution and laws.- If we suppose each slaveholder to be the head of: family (at the ordinary ratio, ) tnere were zzL.Vbi persons in Tennessee interested in slavery that is, about one-sizl'h cf the population. There an? rive-sixths of the people of theState who cannot lose one eentbr abolition.. There are t 8,000, arms, anU only 1S,u00 persons who own over four slaves, proving that three fourths cf the farms cf that State are ru IK rated by free labor. Will those farms surfer anything foT want of slavery ? Now Jet t look U the negroes. A very large part of them are house servants, "and need nothing. They and their masters would rather remain together. Th-f can work for wages, can go to school, and caanot be sold- So of nearly all the farm laborers. And on the largest plantations the same arrangements can be made as in Louisiana to work tbe ' plantations at fixed wagrs. the plantation negroes to have their allotments and., privileges us may be agreed on. . Tennessee will rise from the abolition of slavery to "be one of the richest and most popui6u5 States in this country. With incalon table' ad v-Hge of soil, climate and mineral"-,

How did the whifes arrlre at moral and religious cnlVtxr m aatflofKa-'YrT'iKrft tiiuoi- ior sm fast as the colored people are instructed they will furnish their own teachers and missionaries. ' Some good, people think that tlie whites of the South will oppose the instruction and welfare of the negroes. Not at all. They forget the total change in the relation of the whites to the negro. As ix master, it was the interest of the white man to keep the lave iguorant, for he feared him. As an employer, with the negro free, his interest is directby the other way. It is the itiiereet of tchite employers tj pit e the negro$"intelliHace and virtue preciseh as it is our itcrecit to keep up the public schools. In an article on our "Future Policy," Ac, in the Gazette of last Saturday, the same writer makes the following pertinent and well-timed suggestions : , "The Constitution was more definite in defining treason than on anj' other subject. For fear that Courts might assume to judge of motives instead of acts, it expressly made treason to consist vf overt acts ; hence motives have nothing to do with it. It is no matter whether the man charged with treason believes in secession or not. - And singularly enough the Constitution has met the very case in hand. The Constitutions says that trea son shall consist in "'levying tear against them, ( United States, ) or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid utul comfort." Neither Military Conventions, nor the Piesident or Congress, cau set aside an imperative constitutional provision. General Lke, and every otlicer and man in the rebel armies and every man who voted for secession in Legislatures and Conventions are liable to indictment by a competent court ; and there is no power on earth can save them from being hung except the I'rtsident's pardon after conviction. It is true the I'resident can say in advance what he would do, and on what condilion. Ai the pains taken by the Confederate traitors to surrender themselves out of treason are utterly in vain. They must depend on the President and on Union men in the South for any escape they shall make from the penalties of treason. As to the future, the declarations of Lkt, the conduct of secessionists, the assassination ef Lincoln, and that blackest cruelty in the history of barbarism, the treatment of our prisoners, shows precisely what the spirit of secession is, and how it must be treated. For one generation it must be clenched in tlie hand of power. No States should be reorganized except by unequivocally loyal men.Politicians of all parties Republicans as well as Democrats will want to re organize States immediately, that they may use their votes for party purposes. But let the people see to it that no such thing is done till it can be done sajely and permanently. Garnsou the important points of the South ; destroy the last vestige of slavery ; and disfanchise all rebels who cannot honestly take the oath of allegiance, or who can be shown to have fought against the United States. We must not warm the adder into life till we have extracted its poison." The sales of seven thirties last week amounted to more, than 50,000,000. An incendiary fire occurred at Jerse City on Saturday morning, which destroyed the car manufactory of the Erie Railroad Company, valued at $ 125,000. The Quartermaster's Department has effected a reduction in the expense of ocean and coastwise transports, of about $35,000 per day, or more than three millions per month since the order for reduction was issued. Many of Lee's soldiers are arriving at New Orleans. General Banks requires them to report to the Provost Marshal, and prohibits their wearing the rebel uniform. The Mississippi squadron, which formerly numbered one hundred vessels, is to be reduced to one quarter of that number. Governor Piarpoit i- mtViag his arraugemauts to .proceed to Kichmond and assume control of Ihe State Government of Virginia. President Johnson has given him assurance that he will Vie recognized and sustained as the legal Governor. Secretaiy Seward is rapidly improving, anil expected to be able to resume his duties in a few days. Mr. Fred Seward's condition is very encouraging. The Mayor of Philadelphia Ins received a letter from Miss Anna E. Dickinson, inclosing a check for 8922 03: the pro ceeds of a recent lectnre at the Apsdemv, to be devoted toward the fm l for the erection cf the Lincoln montirr.ent. A dispatch from Des Moines says the gnerrillas who robbed the passengers of the Great Western Stage Company have been captured, and their bodies left in tlie voods. The express train that left Cincinnati at 8 P. M., April 5, was attacked by guerrilla at North Bc-nd, forteen miles northwest bf Cincianati. The train was thrown from the track, and passengers aad express robbed. The guerrillas numbered about twenty men. The Express safes were taken from tlie cars and blown open, and contents taken. The guerrillas, .after robbing the passengers and Express, crossed the river in skills. No person was serieusly injured. The Express Company have offered a reward of five hundred dollars for each of the guerxillact.
